As with any adaptation of a previous work, the Netflix series Sandman has made some tweaks to the original stories by Neil Gaiman. Among them, mystery detective John Constantine was cast as Joanna Constantine, and Dr. Gina Colman played dual roles as her and her eponymous predecessor in the 18th century. Speaking of Constantine, it was recently announced that Keanu Reeves will reprise his role as John Constantine, and Coleman responded to the DC movie news.
In case you missed the September announcement, Keanu Reeves meets Constantine director Francis Lawrence for a sequel written by Akira Goldsman. Reeves was the first actor to play John Constantine on live TV, and two years after finding out that both Reeves and Lawrence were about to face off against Constantine 2 , it's happening now! In an interview with THR, Jenna Coleman was asked how she felt about "meeting" the role of Constantine and somehow taking on the role, and she replied:
Besides being a woman, modern Joanna Constantine played a key role in the Sandman series as John Constantine in the original Sandman comics. After escaping from the custody of the Burgess family, Morpheus enlists Tom Stredge to help Constantine snatch the secret sandbag of his ex-girlfriend, and before that, we see Constantine using magic in battle. Satan. Well, Jenna Coleman definitely has bragging rights for being "basically" Keanu Reeves, which makes me wonder what she would do if she was playing a new character or John Wick character right now.
The news of Constantine 2 comes just over a month after The Sandman hit Netflix, so it's definitely time to be a fan of Constantine soon. Jenna Coleman when asked if she thought it was a "coincidence" from Warner Bros. The actress confirmed that Constantine 2 is progressing shortly after The Sandman .
While Jenna Coleman's performance certainly helped elevate Constantine's image, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that Matt Ryan also played a big part. After directing the short-lived NBC series Constantine , he reprized the character of the CW Arrow series, and has also voiced several animated projects. However, Ryan's time with John Constantine will come to an end after the character exits at the end of Season 6 of Legends of Things and the conclusion of the series' main episode. Between that and the new HBO Max series Constantine (starring The Color Man), Coleman is now the front man on TV and the front runner.
However, even if The Sandman is renewed for a second season (Neil Gaiman explained why that hasn't happened yet), it's unclear whether Jenna Coleman will return as modern Joanna Constantine, but as Sandman comic book readers know, there's still plenty to do. . A story told by Joanna in the eighteenth century. There are also fan calls for the Joanna Constantine spin-off, so if that happens or if we get any major updates on the original show, CinemaBlend will have some important news.
